Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 195: Successful Diagnosis, the Old Classmate’s Moment of Glory (Part 2)

Li Jingsheng’s last sentence was meant to compliment Lian Tao.

After all, he’s a chief physician, and now that the basic diagnosis has been made, the accolades shouldn’t only go to Li Jingsheng.

"Once we have a direction of suspicion, things become easier. I’ll immediately contact the doctors in Cardiovascular Medicine. Wait, shouldn’t this be surgery?"

Lian Tao asked Li Jingsheng.

This was a hint.

Surgery meant that it required surgical treatment.

"Yes, it would be better to admit her to Cardiac Surgery."

Li Jingsheng nodded in confirmation.

"I don’t think we need to call Cardiac Surgery, let’s just take her there directly!"

Lian Tao’s expression was a bit tense as he said this.

Li Jingsheng, having spent a few years in big hospitals, naturally understood the intricacies.

It’s nothing more than a hierarchy of disdain: internal medicine looks down on surgery, thinking surgery only messes with scalpels. Surgery looks down on internal medicine, believing it can’t even handle small operations.

The two of them immediately took the patient and family to the Cardiac Surgery ward.

As for the outpatient clinics, they had closed long before.

If you don’t know anyone, seeking medical attention at night, going directly to emergency is the most effective method.

After all, the emergency department acts like a transit station.

Patients are brought in, undergo preliminary diagnosis, if it’s Digestive Medicine, they call Digestive Medicine to take over; for surgery, they notify the relevant surgical department.

Some hospitals have impressive emergency departments with detailed divisions between internal and surgical medicine, sometimes even with their own inpatient beds.

Some minor surgeries, like appendicitis or removing surface tumors, can all be handled at the emergency department.

Not every patient is pushed to a specialized department.

The four of them arrived at Cardiac Surgery.

Upon entering, Li Jingsheng immediately sensed the smell of money.

Heart attack, mitral valve insufficiency, aortic dissection... almost none of the patient treatments here come cheap.

If you need an artificial heart, just one tiny piece costs millions.

If you’re broke, getting treated at Cardiac Surgery is out of the question.

The medical staff on duty here appeared busy and generally aloof.

Lian Tao, despite having some status at the People’s Hospital, here felt like just another person.

No wonder he didn’t make a call to find a doctor he knew.

He probably doesn’t have the clout or contacts among cardiac doctors of some status.

Trying to establish inter-departmental networks is quite difficult.

"Director Lian, you’re still not off work this late?"

Finally, a nurse who knew him greeted him actively.

However, there was no trace of servility in her tone.

Instead, it carried a hint of pride and arrogance.

Cardiac Surgery and Neurosurgery are known for their arrogance.
